Nigerians arrive home after fleeing Libya's turmoil.
Around 500 citizens from Nigeria were evacuated Sunday, with hundreds more arriving Monday.

"Gaddafi must go down, Gaddafi is over. He is a monster. He is a vampire. He lives by PBE strategy - progress by elimination. He does not rule Libya with a right."

He says many people have been killed, including Nigerians.

"I have so many friends in Libya. They told me they cannot speak because Gaddafi has killed their cousins and uncles. He destroyed them all, he does not care about our lives, Gaddafi must pay. He killed Nigerians in this present Libyan unrest. Nigerians have died in Libya."

And in Nairobi, 90 Kenyans and dozens of citizens of other African nations arrived early Monday.
Families embrace in tearful reunion - after some feared this day might never come.
[Esther Ndung'u, Wife of Evacuated Kenyan]:
"I'm very happy to see my husband and son arrive home safely. They were in Libya, son and father. I was very worried and even thought they could come back in coffins but thank God they have arrived alive."

Thousands of foreign nationals have been evacuated from Libya as unrest in the nation intensifies amid protests to oust Muammar Gaddafi.
A growing number of Western leaders are calling for him to step down after his brutal response to the popular uprising.
